If you follow me, then you know that there isn't much I haven't chalk painted with the van Gogh Fossil Paint.

I have three stairs that come down into my studio and, snore bore....they could use some pizzazz-ing!

Yes, I did....
I painted them!!!

I chalk painted them with van Gogh Fossil Paint in Revenge Black and Chalk White!
I then free hand drew (YES, I'm a font whore) the little sayings...
~~Why Not Sing, Sip Some Wine And Create Beautiful Things~~

On the inner step I used various stencils for the designs.
The feather and tin tile looking stencil I helped design for Muddaritaville Stencils, the doily is bought from Walmart, and the bottom design elements are from Studio van Gogh.

--> BAM <--
I LOVE them and so does everyone else who walks into my studio!!
The sky is the limit on what you can create with this paint!

It's been a busy year end thus far and I haven't had time to just sit and blog....sorry!

An exciting thing that has happened is I found "Hometalk". Have you seen it? It's a total DIY site and you can clip projects you find to your own boards to see at a later time! More importantly, I was featured on the site for my 1940's French Perfume Ad Lockers!

Do you remember my 1940's lockers makeover? Click HERE to see the post!

I had 3 sets of 3, and they came right out of the school in Nobleford Alberta Canada. The first set I recreated with an Antique Beehive Clothing ad. The second set was a custom piece I did for a family (post to be at a later date).

THIS, this is my 3rd and final set.

Here were the lockers as they came to me... I LOVE how they are only 5ft tall....people were not that big back in the 1940's!

I LOVE Old doors, I just don't have the space to store them....and good thing because I would collect them until my hearts content!
I have had some really cool doors in the past, like a 5 panel 1940's in house swing door that sold to a client as a headboard! BEASTLY heavy but super cool!
This time I wanted to try my hand at making brand new 5 panel doors look old! I did two doors in different ways.
Here is the before pic...
